Ingredients
  

Campfire Peachies
  • 16 white bread Use thick-sliced bread if available for better crunch.
  • 1 can (21 oz) peach pie filling Keep it thick so it oozes without running out.
  • 0.25 cup cinnamon sugar Sprinkle evenly to flavor the bread as it toasts.
  • 0.25 cup butter Butter for bread (amount approximate for one side of each slice).
  • 1 powdered sugar For dusting right before serving.

Equipment

  • 1 pie iron

Method
 

Assemble the pie iron sandwiches
  1. Butter one side of each bread slice so the insides toast and crisp evenly.
  2. Place one slice butter-side down in the pie iron.
  3. Spoon peach pie filling onto the bread, then sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
  4. Top with the second bread slice, butter-side up, and close the pie iron.
Cook over campfire coals
  1. Cook over campfire coals for 2-3 minutes per side, until the sandwich is golden and crispy.
Cool and finish
  1. Carefully remove the sandwiches from the pie iron.
  2. Let cool for 2 minutes, then dust with powdered sugar and serve.

Notes

For the cleanest oozing peach center, don’t overfill—aim for a mound that stays within the bread edges. Store leftovers in the fridge up to 2 days; reheat in a hot skillet or toaster oven until crisp. Freezing is not recommended because the bread texture softens after thawing. For a lighter option, use a lower-sugar peach pie filling and reduce the cinnamon sugar slightly.
